High Honors for the Left, Crickets for the Right |
Justice Clarence Thomas has been under non-stop attack for decades by the Leftist media machine. Justice Samuel Alito, much the same. By contrast, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had an easy ride. Ginsburg, who passed away in September 2020, was considered by the Left to be a pioneer on the Supreme Court.
Like clockwork, she led the liberal charge in nearly every case that came before the Court. Based on her ‘creative’ interpretations of law, one can deduce that virtually nothing in the U.S. Constitution was sacred to her.
Three years after her death, she was honored on a postage stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service. The stamp became available for use in mid-October 2023. It depicts Justice Ginsburg adorned in the traditional black robe and her signature white collar.
Many people, even on the Right, have no qualms about this particular honor; it is simply a postage stamp and Ginsburg was the second woman to be on the Court, following Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
The question arises, who else on the court meets the criterion but has not been so posthumously honored on a postage stamp? The fundamental criterion is to have been an individual of distinction and, of course, to be deceased.
